Law Minor

Program Coordinator: Alex Brennan, Department of Political Science, Criminal Justice and Organizational Leadership

The Law minor is designed for students who are not majoring in law but are interested in applying to law school or pursuing a career in a law-related field. This minor offers the opportunity to gain foundational legal knowledge, develop critical thinking, and enhance legal and professional writing skills. While completing this minor is not a requirement for law school admission, it provides structured preparation that can aid in advanced legal education.

♦ Indicates prerequisite.

Contact the Program Coordinator for any course that lists “Departmental Approval” as a prerequisite.

Core Requirements (12 Credits)

Electives (9 Credits)

Students must complete at least 9 credit hours of 300-500 level LAW electives. For transfer students, all 9 of these credit hours must be taken at NKU. A maximum of 3 hours of LAW 450 and 3 hours of LAW 496 may be counted toward the minor.
